The Secretary of the Interior re.
ceived the following communication
the other day from young lady resid.
ing In Colorado:
Please answer a question In which | am
greatly interested. SuppOsing young woman
has fled upon a half section of Government
land and young man has n pre- empton
claim Joining, and in the same section. They
wish to get married. Must the young woman
dispose of her claim or pay for 1t; or II she be
allowed to retain tile claim, must the young
man dispose of hi-ns
The gallant Secretary, It's gratifying
to state, decided all the points in his
correspondents favor, and by this time
probably two hearts that beat as one are
made happy and their claims left un-
disturbed. In which there is u tacit
injunction TO all who will TO go and do
likewise, thereby adding to the wealth,
prosperity and census returns of
grateful country.
In WAS groundless apprehension after
all. The Volunteer defeated the This
tie worse than the Gcnesta and Galatea
were beaten. AS was shown by the
full and interesting dispatches printed
in THE CRITIC yesterday, the victory
was due both to the superior skill and
Judgment of the Volunteers skipper
and the ability of the Yankee boat to
point better than the cutter. 1t is
another sloop victory and decisive
triumph of American skill. The Vol
unteer crossed the finish line at j2S:1Gt
O'Clock, and the Thistle, with . sec.
onds allowance, 10 minutes 23f seconds
later. The Puritan defeated the Genesta
over the same course in 1885 1G min
utes 10 seconds. The Mayflower last
year came In 12 minutes and 9 seconds
ahead of the Galatea.
THE wheelmen of Washington will
be largely represented in the Shepherd
demonstration, as 1t is highly appro.
pirate they should be. There is no
class of men who owe bigger debt of
gratitude to the eX Governor than the
bicyclers. If 1t hadn't been for him,
they would never have been ablcto run

AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY
Made BY the Government of the
Governor Of PENNSYLVANIA,

HARRISBURG, Pa, May s.-Gov. Bea-
yer formally opened the exposition of
the City Grays at the armory of the COM
pany last evening, in the presence of
several thousand people. In speaking
of the National guard the governor said
that little over month ago it looked
to those in authority very much as if
the services of more than 5000 disci-
plined men would soon be needed. In
quiry had come from Washington as to
the time that would be required to con-
centrate Pennsylvania troops at Lake
Erie in case of trouble with England
in regard to the fisheries dispute. The
reply was sent back that twenty-four
hours would be all that wonld be neces-
sary to concentrate the troops at the
lake or at any point Oh the border of the
state. Gov. Beaver added that happily
the emergency had passed, that was why
he had mentioned the matter. After
extolling the City Grays as one of the
leading if not the leading company in the
guard, the governor declared the expo
sition open, and bespoke for it the lib
eral benefac tions of the public.

St. Louis Continues to Get Away
With Louisville.

ST. LOUIS, May S.-The Browns
achived another magnificent victory to-
day, downing Louisville the fourth sue
cessive game. 1t was hard-fought
battle, and Ramsey was again hit hard
by the champions. In the eighth inning,
with three men on bases, Bushong came
to the rescue with beautiful drive to
right for two bases, giving the Browns
lead which Louisville was unable to
overcome: King pitched a splendid
game, and though touched up lively at
times, was especially etfecting at critical
points of the game when men We're on
bases. The great fielding of Welch,
Comiskey, Robinson and Mack, and the
hitting of Bushong, Kerins and Welch,
together with Bushong's superior back
stop work, were the best features of the
game. The score is as follows:

THE DEED OF BRUTEs.
A Wealthy Stockman of New Mex
leo Murderously Assaulted.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, May S.-The
American valley in Socorro county, this
territory, has perhaps furnished more
cold-blooded murderers than any other
spot in the Southwestern regions. Re
ports of another murder come from
there to-day in which William Slaughter,
one of the wealthiest stock raisers in
New Mexico, was killed by two men
named Yeungblood and Adkins. Last
year Slaughter was member of the
SocOrrO county grand jury, and large
number, of men were indicted for cattle
stealing, among them YOungblOOd and
Adkins. 1t was believed that Slaughter
was mainly instrumental iii procuring
indictments, and bad blood has existed
between him and the accused men ever
since. Yesterday. while the lifeless
body of Anderson was dangling from
the gallowS of Socorro, Slaughter met
these two men i'll American valley, about
thirty-tive miles from the home ranch,
when an alteration took place, result
ing in the two men firing upon Slaugh-
ter, who was unarmed and attempted to
escape by putting spurs to his horse, but
they pursued, firing at him until he fell
from his saddle, pierced by a half-doZen
bullets. and expired without a groan.
Officers are in pursuit of the murderers.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, May Sd. Is.
Slaughter the wealthy cattle and land
owner of Socorro county who was re-
ported shot and killed. is not dead, but
is seriously hurt. His aSSailantS have
not yet been arrested.

A SHOTGUN MARRIAGE.
A Gay Young Fellow Disciplined
by His Sweetheart.

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-Davisville
has had another sensation, in which
figure a gay young man, and irate
maiden with pistol, and a second
W oman who was about to, but did not
become wife by contract. Young Mr..
Lawrence, the hero of the story,
lately came from San Fran
cisco to reside in Davis. He is a
tinker by trade, and quite blithesome
gallant among the ladies in his own eSti-
nation. During his SOjOurn at Davis he
has given his services for $50 per month
to E. Brown, and in the latter gentle
mans tin shop has welded the coppers
and the shears, patching pots and
mending pans with skill. 1t seems that
the tinker had cultivated case of love
with young black-eyed woman at. the
himself to marry her, and that when he
came to Davis and left her behind
him it was with the promise that ere
many moons had waned he would make
her the partner of his earthly lot. But
it was ever otherwise. His vows to the
girl seem not to have been worth the
''tinker's malediction" that we read
about. 1t was only short time after
arriving in Davis that Lawrence CON-
menced to
MAKE HIMSELF A HANDY GALLANT
around the girls. The most of his at
tentions were showered upon pretty
young, girl Is or 16 years old, who lives
with the family of Rube BrunSon. Her
father lives in Sacramento. The San
Francisco girl got it into her head that
Lawrence was drifting away from the
old mooringS of love, and on last
"Wednesday she suddenly arrived in
Davis, to the CONSERVATION of the
tinker. She put up at the Lillard house
Lawrence stopped at the Clifford
When the tinker learned that she was
on deck he straightaway made up his
mind that storm was brewing. After
due consideration he resolved upon
plan of action that he fancied would rid
himself of his old sweetheart He would
marry his Davisville girl that very day,
and thus circumvent the San Francisco
woman. There was not time
enough to come to Woodland for
marriage license, so he drew
UP a marriage contract, and with this
paper, with the assistance of Justice
Huy, he intended to seal No. 2 to him
before No. knew what was up. But
the two principal distractions which
met him in carrying out this plan were,
the refusal of Mr.. Brunson to permit
him to take the girl without the lInowl-
edge and consent of her papa; and, sec
ond, the refusal of Justice Huy to
acknowledge the making of the con-
tract.
AND so MATTERS RESTED
until Thursday morning, when il is re-
ported that girl No. went up to the
Gafford house and had an interview
with Lawrence, during which it is al
legged that she made him look down the
barrel Of a siX-shooter and listen to the

A SUCCESSFUL CLUB.
The History of the Old Reliable
Bowling Club

The Old Reliable Bowling club was
organized in 1872, with M. Hall, A.
Munich, the two Willius', G. Gotzian, A.
Kiefer, p. A. Kelly and others as char
ter members, and has had a continued
successful existence ever since. Among
its members are some of the most skill
fCl players i'll the city, and while the
club has engaged III numberleSS matches
with rival clubs it has never yet been
beaten. The club is Incorporated, owns
its own alley, situated near the corner
of Sixth street and Hoffman avenue,
and holds property worth, at low esti-
mate, 5000. The present members of
the club are M. Hall, w. +. Van Deyn,
Otto Gerstung, A. Munich, F. Willius,
Theo Draz, Ernst Werner, John Seeger,
G: BOhn, A. Kiefer, ii. Pfunknch, F.
Linz, III. W. Cory, 0. Schwortzbuck, H.
Schiermann and Peter LIENS. Its
officers are Judge Cory, president; Theo
DraZ, vice president; A. Munich, secre-
retary and treasurer, and NJ. Hall, Otto
Gerstung and Gustave Willius execu-
tive committee. The club is preparing
plans to add a large reception room to
its alley, and to further improve its
property.

him. She told him, so the story goes;
that she would lift the top OF MS nedu
off with lead and saltpeter II ne 1a eVGl
married any other waman. ms StAie
of argument seems TO have captured llle
matrimonial bakery, for Lawrence soon
hunted up BrunsOn and informed MIN ~
was the other woman he was going 10
marry, and that it would be unnecessary
to telegraph for the Davisvllle's glrrs
papa, as BrunsOn had agreed TO 90 tle
night before. Brunson insisted that ne
would send the telegram anyhow, ana
squabble ensued, which ended IN
physical encounter and a rough ana
tumble fight, i'll which neither. was
badly disfgured. Soon after the tinker
submitted to the inevitable and meekly
put his head into the bridal nal
ter, and was spliced to the, pistol
welding damsel from the wicked me-
tropolis. The same day the pair de-
parted upon their honeymoon plIgriIn-
age, which took circuitOus route that
brought them back to Davisville last
Sunday evening. Upon their return the
boys got out their brass horns and other
Instruments of torture and boisterously
celebrated the event. At the present
writing the couple are supposed TO De

Women in the saloon.

New YORK, May S.-The excise COM
missioners of Babylon were told in ad-
vance of their meeting yesterday that
the ladies of the Christian Temperance
union intended to present an
address and a petition asking the
board to reduce the number of drinking
places in the village at least one-haif.
The commissioners are not prohibition
lists and were opposed to reducing the
number of places where city So
journers could get rid of their
surplus change. 1t was decided, in
order to bar out the temperance women,
to hold the meeting of the board in a
bar room, the supposition being that the
women would not go there. But they
did, and in force. Several of them made
speeches, and were interrupted repeat
edly By bold men calling for drinks
and quarreling with the bartender
about the change. The ladies held
their ground, however, and continued
to fire rhetorical arrows at the commits
sioners and denounce the dealers in
strong drink long after the tipplerS had
spent their last dimes. There is indig-
nation in the village, and a law and
order association is sure to be organized.

LAST WEEKS WEATHER.
Greely Issues a New Bulletin on
Climatic Conditions.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Gen. Greely,
chief signal officer, has arranged to
issue, beginning with to-day, special
weekly bulletin, with the view of
promptly placing before the public each
Monday morning reliable information
relative to climatic conditions in the ag-
ricultural districts of the country. 1t is
believed that these bulletins, containing
the deficiencies or excess relative to the
temperatures and rainfall during the
growing season, will serve as a reliable
basis for determining the conditions
favorable or unfavorable for the growing
crop. Following is the weather crop bulle-
tin for the week ending Saturday, May7.
During the past week the rainfalls in
the northern portions of Wisconsin,
Gulf states, in Central Mississippi,
Northern Georgia and Central Alabama
have been slightly above the average
for the week. the heaviest rainfalls oc-
curing in Eastern Texas, Arkansas
and Southern Missouri, thus in meas
ure alleviating the drouth previously
existing in these sections. In the west
ern portions of New York and Pennsyl-
vania and in Northern Ohio the rainfall
for the week has served to increase the
excess of rainfall already reported in
InOSe SeculOllS. LII VIII GiluS De seen UfldC
the season to date in the various Sec
lows: In the grain region of the
North it has been comparatively
cold and dry. In the cotton sec
ton in the west of Georgia
warm and unusually dry. In the cotton
